Book Reviews

In this book, he shares it all just jam packed with juicy visuals of all the sketches he's done from around the world, in depth stories about what he thinks, how he creates and even step by step instructions. The book is also an easy read, written in Ian's soft and somewhat funny sense of humour too.

If you're an artist, Urban Sketcher or someone that just needs visual inspiration, this book is for you. I think you'll enjoy it.

To conclude, I wanted to list a quote about the Urban Sketching process he mentions that struck a chord with me:

"The process begins with the eye, continues with the hand, and concludes with the heart"
